I would really like to see that. Unfortunately I don't think we have a neighborhood blacksmith. Do you know of any videos on youtube?

Looks like you live in Calgary, based on the website in your profile. Definitely a lot of blacksmiths up that way, but you might have to get out of town a little bit.
Blacksmiths are always having hammer-ins (hackfest/demo day analog). If you can get to Brooks, AB, CA in June there is a forged knife hammer-in. Email me (in my profile) and I'll get you details. Abana.org is also a great place to find smiths.
The cool thing about hammer-ins is that newbies or people with only a casual interest often get to play with the toys (with careful instruction).

That is one hot and noisy job.
I think this one is better - you can see what they make, rather than just fireballs.
